MRM Health features End-to-End development capabilities, from discovery to CMC, regulatory and clinical development. We have direct access to the most advanced simulator of the human gut, the Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME®). In addition, through strategic partnerships with international research centers, MRM Health has secured extensive complementary microbiome and bioinformatics capabilities, multidisciplinary knowhow and patient insights.
Through its proprietary technology platform, MRM Health develops Optimized Consortia, a novel class of microbial therapeutics which surpass the current microbiome approaches. Using a bioinformatics-guided in-human discovery engine, key therapeutic strains are identified and integrated into Optimized Consortia through its proprietary Microbiome Optimization Technology. The Company’s breakthrough GMP-compliant manufacturing technology allows to manufacture therapeutic consortia as a single Drug Substance.
VIB is an excellence-based entrepreneurial research institute in life sciences that focuses on translating basic scientific results into pharmaceutical, agricultural and industrial applications. VIB works in close partnership with Flemish universities, including KU Leuven and Ghent University.
